administration was a little annoyed about so much attention being paid to ambassador rice i was out last tuesday's press briefing at the white house and question after question was about susan rice and who knew what when about benghazi. here was one of the white house spokesman jay carney's responses to that barrage of questions he got going to say that this is again what is the point of the focus on this it could have been me it could have been an embezzler reisman i took questions on this too and we all relied on. information from the intelligence community the focus on a sunday show appearances entirely misplaced and it represents less interest i think in what happened in benghazi then in the political dynamics in washington. and you know i he's right the media is probably focused on the wrong thing here if they want to focus on susan rice that's fine but the overkill of her allegedly misleading the american people based on vague information she may have gotten is not the most significant thing here if they want to focus on the potential of her becoming secretary of state and the

so it's not simply a barack obama phenomenon. but i don't. what we see both from my own work inside the senate and observation from what we see with books like mike grunwald's is that it was a very deliberate strategy hatched at least at inaugural if not before to try to raise the bar and to block things from happening, and to get unanimous minority support. and to do it not just on build 40 want to amendments, but on build where he had no interest, just make it all messy and make it difficult. i'm not going to defend barack obama's outreach to the minority party, but i could go back to knot the use of the filibuster but other methods of obstruction with bill clinton who reached out all the time. so i think that's the factor but a minor one. i think harry reid's use of filling the amendment tree, partly this is chicken and egg, but has been done too much and that didn't result in at least some protests and willingness of some senators on his side who might otherwise have joined in some of these filibusters to do so. it had much more to do wit
